And also that those students took a lot of crap about the Cubs during their entire time at SLU (rightfully so) and now are well aware of who is currently the dominant team in the rivalry, despite the delusion of Cards fans.

What a ride it has been for them since they discovered Chicago had a hockey team in 2009! Brighton and RiseOfTheBillikens like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is the fourth straight years the Cubs have made it... and three of those years they have made it to at least the NLCS? Who's flopping again? All we heard from the media and fans was how they were going to become a dynasty. How is that turning out so far ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans of the team that claimed anyone can have a bad century shouldn't talk about a team missing the playoffs for 3 years.

If a Cubs fan ever says something like that it is clearly tongue in cheek and is an acknowledgement that it is pathetic. Fans of a team that hasn't seen the postseason in either of the last 3 seasons should not be talking crap about any other team. But I expect nothing less from Cards fans.

When the Cardinals rebuild they contend for wild card spots. When the cubs rebuild they are one of the worst teams in the MLB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are acting like the Cardinals have won nothing recently. In the last decade the Cardinals won a World Series, won two pennants and made the playoffs six times.

Slu let the dogs out? Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Since 2000 Playoff appearances: 7 for Cubs, 12 for Cardinals Pennants: 1 for Cubs, 4 for Cardinals WS Championships: 1 for Cubs, 2 for Cardinals Even if you want to go more recent history...let's say Since 2010? Playoff appearances: 4 for Cubs, 5 for Cardinals Pennants: 1 for Cubs, 2 for Cards WS Championships: 1 for Cubs, 1 for Cards I'd say Cards fans are still within their right to talk crap to Cubs fans. Maybe i'm the only one that feels this way but I don't consider the Cubs WC play-in game LOSS as making the playoffs this year, even though it technically is. It's essentially an extra game of the season (or in the Cubs' case an extra, extra game) to determine who wins the last playoff spot. So let's knock that down to 6 playoff appearances for the Cubs since 2000. Good news is, Contreras how more time this off-season to work on his walk celebration for 2019.

QUAILMAN Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Hey I'm never going to come on here and pick fights or deny the full history.

kshoe Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Guys, there's not a lot of value in arguing with a Cubs fan that can't even admit that the Cubs tanked to get to where they are today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will absolutely admit that and I'm not sure what the problem is with tanking if it gets you to the ultimate prize. Where did I evade admitting that?

Brighton Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 How's it feel to lose the division along with a chance to get into the actual postseason in consecutive days ? It's like Miracle in Memphis in reverse. A dynastic team doesn't do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
